Strike a pose

8092010

It is normal to see people take photos of each other on holiday. On day one of my holiday we were sitting on the beach, soaking up the sun and people watching. We then saw this couple about to take a photo. I can never understand why people take photos of themselves in their swim suits, it would be my idea of torture, but anyway – this couple were about to capture the moment on film. He was big burly, older and sporting a small pair of hot pants and a slightly too small sun hat. She was in a bright green bikini, heels and aviators. She stood in front of us and he shouted what I can only assume was “strike a pose”. Strike a pose she did! Arms behind her head, leg up. I felt like we were on a sports illustrated shoot! This went on for about 5 minutes and a whole selection of seductive poses. Unfortunately we packed light and didn’t take our beach heels, so a photo shoot of the same ilk was never going to happen to us!
